BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure is related to a fixed focus imaging lens for forming optical images of subjects onto an image sensor such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor). The present disclosure is also related to an imaging apparatus provided with the imaging lens that performs photography such as a digital still camera, a cellular telephone with a built in camera, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smart phone, a tablet type terminal, and a portable gaming device.

Description of the Background Art

Accompanying the recent spread of personal computers in households, digital still cameras capable of inputting image data such as photographed scenes and portraits into personal computers are rapidly becoming available. In addition, many cellular telephones, smart phones, and tablet type terminals are being equipped with camera modules for inputting images. Image sensors such as CCD's and CMOS's are employed in these devices having photography functions. Recently, miniaturization of these image sensors is advancing, and there is demand for miniaturization of the entirety of the photography devices as well as imaging lenses to be mounted thereon. At the same time, the number of pixels in image sensors is increasing, and there is demand for high resolution and high performance of imaging lenses. Performance corresponding to 5 megapixels or greater, and more preferably 8 megapixels or greater, is desired.

In response to such demands, imaging lenses having a five or six lens configuration, which is a comparatively large number of lenses, may be considered. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 (U.S. Pat. No. 8,000,031 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20120087019) propose an imaging lens with a five-lens configuration, including a first lens having a positive refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, a third lens having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens having a negative refractive power, and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, disposed in this order from the object side.

SUMMARY

Meanwhile, there is demand for imaging lenses for use in apparatuses which are becoming thinner such as cellular telephones, smart phones, and tablet terminals to have shortened total lengths. Accordingly, there is demand for the imaging lenses disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 listed above to be have an even shorter total length.

The present disclosure has been developed in view of the foregoing points. The present disclosure provides an imaging lens that can realize shortening the total length while being capable of realizing high imaging performance from a central angle of view to peripheral angles of view. It is another object of the present disclosure to provide an imaging apparatus equipped with the lens, which is capable of obtaining high resolution photographed images.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a first example of the configuration of an imaging lens according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. This example of the configuration corresponds to the lens configuration of a first Numerical Example 1 (Table 1 and Table 2), to be described later. Similarly, FIG. 2 through FIG. 9 are sectional diagrams that illustrate second through ninth examples of lens configurations that correspond to Numerical Examples (Table 3 through Table 18) according to second through ninth embodiments to be described later. In FIGS. 1 through 9, the symbol Ri represents the radii of curvature of ith surfaces, i being lens surface numbers that sequentially increase to the image side (imaging side), with the surface of most-object-side lens element designated as first. The symbol Di represents the distances between an ith surface and an i+1st surface along an optical axis Z1. Note that the basic configurations of the examples are the same, and therefore a description will be given of the imaging lens of FIG. 1 as a base, and the examples of FIGS. 2 through 9 will also be described as necessary. In addition, FIG. 10 is a diagram that illustrates the paths of light rays that pass through the imaging lens L of FIG. 1, and illustrates the paths of axial light rays 2 and light rays 3 of a maximum angle of view exited from an object at an infinity distance.

The imaging lens L of the embodiment of the present disclosure is favorably employed in various imaging devices that employ image sensors such as a CCD and a CMOS. The imaging lens L of the embodiment of the present disclosure is particularly favorable for use in comparatively miniature portable terminal devices, such as a digital still camera, a cellular telephone with a built in camera, a smart phone, a tablet type terminal, and a PDA. The imaging lens L is equipped with a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, and a fifth lens L5, disposed in this order from the object side.

FIG. 20 schematically illustrates a cellular telephone as an imaging apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The imaging apparatus 1 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is equipped with the imaging lens L according to the embodiment of the present disclosure and an image sensor 100 (refer to FIG. 1) such as a CCD that outputs image signals corresponding to optical images formed by the imaging lens L. The image sensor 100 is provided at an image formation plane (imaging surface R14) of the imaging lens L.

FIG. 21 schematically illustrates a smart phone as an imaging apparatus 501 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The imaging apparatus 501 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is equipped with a camera section 541 having the imaging lens L according to the embodiment of the present disclosure and an image sensor 100 (refer to FIG. 1) such as a CCD that outputs image signals corresponding to optical images formed by the imaging lens L. The image sensor 100 is provided at an image formation plane (imaging surface R14) of the imaging lens L.

Various optical members CG may be provided between the fifth lens L5 and the image sensor 100, depending on the configuration of the camera to which the lens is applied. A planar optical member such as a cover glass for protecting the imaging surface and an infrared cutoff filter may be provided, for example. In this case, a planar cover glass having a coating having a filtering effect such as an infrared cutoff filter coating or an ND filter coating, or a material that exhibits similar effects may be utilized as the optical member CG.

Alternatively, the optical member CG may be omitted, and a coating may be administered on the fifth lens L5 to obtain the same effect as that of the optical member CG. Thereby, the number of parts can be reduced, and the total length can be shortened.

It is preferable for the imaging lens L to be equipped with an aperture stop St positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the second lens L2. By positioning the aperture stop St at the object side of the object-side surface of the second lens L2 in this manner, increases in the incident angles of light rays that pass through the optical system and enter the image formation plane (image sensor) can be suppressed, particularly at peripheral portions of an imaging region. It is preferable for the apertures stop St to be positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the first lens L1 in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent. Note that the expression “positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the second lens” means that the position of the aperture stop in the direction of the optical axis is at the same position as the intersection of marginal axial rays of light and the object-side surface of the second lens L2, or at the object side of this position. Similarly, the expression “positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the first lens” means that the position of the aperture stop in the direction of the optical axis is at the same position as the intersection of marginal axial rays of light and the object-side surface of the first lens L1, or at the object side of this position. In the present embodiment, first through fourth and sixth through ninth examples of the lens configurations (FIG. 1 through FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 through FIG. 9) correspond to the example of the lens configuration in which the aperture stop St is positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the first lens L1.

Further, it is preferable for the aperture stop St to be positioned at the image side of the vertex of a surface of the first lens L1 when the aperture stop St is positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the first lens L1 along the optical axis. By positioning the aperture stop St at the image side of the vertex of the surface of the first lens L1 in this manner, the total length of the imaging lens including the aperture stop St can be shortened. In addition, in the present embodiment, the aperture stop St is positioned at the image side of the vertex of the surface of the first lens L1, but not limited thereto, and may be positioned at the object side of the vertex of the surface of the first lens L1. Positioning the aperture stop St at the object side of the vertex of the surface of the first lens L1 is slightly more disadvantageous from the viewpoint of securing the amount of peripheral light rays compared to a case in which the aperture stop St is positioned at the image side of the vertex of the surface of the first lens L1. However, increases in the incident angles of light rays that pass through the optical system and enter the image formation surface (image sensor) at the peripheral portions of the imaging region can be more favorably suppressed.

Further, the aperture stop St may be positioned between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 along the optical axis, as shown in the fifth embodiment (refer to FIG. 5). In this case, field curvature can be favorably corrected. Note that positioning the aperture stop St between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 along the optical axis is more disadvantageous from the viewpoint of securing telecentric characteristics, i.e., causing the chief ray to be as parallel as possible to the optical axis (causing the incident angles at the imaging surface to approximate zero) compared to a case in which the aperture stop St is positioned at the object side of the object-side surface of the first lens L1 along the optical axis. However, favorable optical performance can be achieved by applying image sensors, which have been recently realized accompanying the development of image sensor techniques and in which a reduction in light receiving efficiency and the occurrence of color mixture due to increases in the incident angle are suppressed.

In the imaging lens L, the first lens L1 has a positive refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis and has a convex surface toward the object side in the vicinity of the optical axis. By the first lens L1, which is the most-object-side lens, having a positive refractive power and a convex surface toward the object side in the vicinity of the optical axis, the total length can be favorably shortened. It is preferable for the first lens L1 to be of a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the object side as in the first embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent.

The second lens L2 has a negative refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis. Thereby, spherical aberration and longitudinal chromatic aberration generated when the light rays pass through the first lens L1 can be favorably corrected. Further, it is preferable for the second lens L2 to be of a meniscus shape with a concave surface toward the image side in the vicinity of the optical axis as in the first embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1. In this case, second lens L2 has a surface having a positive refractive power toward the object side in the vicinity of the optical axis and a surface having a negative refractive power toward the image side in the vicinity of the optical axis. Therefore, the shortened total length can be more easily realized.

The third lens L3 has a positive refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis. Thereby, spherical aberration can be more favorably corrected. In addition, the third lens L3 is of a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the object side in the vicinity of the optical axis, as shown in the first embodiment. In the case that the third lens L3 is of a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the object side in the vicinity of the optical axis, the position of the rearward principal point of the third lens L3 can be suitably closer to the objet side, and the shortening of the total length can be preferably realized.

The fourth lens L4 has a negative refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis. By the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 to be described below having negative refractive powers in the vicinity of the optical axis, the imaging lens can be a telephoto-type configuration as a whole, in which the first lens L1 through the third lens L3 are considered to be one optical system having a positive refractive power and the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 are considered to be one optical system having a negative refractive power. Thereby, the position of the rearward principal point of the imaging lens as a whole can be closer to the objet side, and the total length can be suitably shortened. Further, the fourth lens L4 is of a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side as shown in the first embodiment. Thereby, astigmatism can be favorably corrected.

The fifth lens L5 has a negative refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis. As describe above, by disposing a lens having a negative refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis at the most-image side of the imaging lens, the imaging lens can be a telephoto-type configuration as a whole, and the total length can be suitably shortened. In addition, by the fifth lens L5 having a negative refractive power in the vicinity of the optical axis, field curvature can be favorably corrected. Further, in the case that the fifth lens L5 has a concave surface toward the image side in the vicinity of the optical axis, the total length can be more preferably shortened, and field curvature can be favorably corrected. It is preferable for the fifth lens L5 to be of a meniscus shape with a concave surface toward the image side in the vicinity of the optical axis as shown in the first embodiment, in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent.

Further, the fifth lens L5 has at least one inflection point within the effective diameter of the image-side surface. The term “inflection point” on the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5 refers to a point at which the image-side surface shape of the fifth lens L5 changes from a convex shape to a concave shape (or from a concave shape to a convex shape) with respect to the image side. The inflection point may be provided at any radially outward positions from the optical axis within the effective diameter of the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5. It is preferable for the inflection point to be provided at positions within a range from 40% to 70% of the maximum effective diameter of the fifth lens L5 in a radially outward direction from the optical axis. Configuring the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5 to be of a shape having at least one inflection point as shown in the first embodiment can suppress increases in the incident angles of light rays that pass through the optical system and enter the image formation plane (image sensor) particularly at peripheral portions of an imaging region. Note that the peripheral portions herein refer to portions which are radially outward from positions at approximately 50% to 70% of the maximum effective diameter of the lens, radially outward from the optical axis.

In the imaging lens L1 described above, the configuration of each lens element of the first lens through the fifth lens is optimized within a lens configuration having five lenses as a whole. Therefore, a lens system that achieves shortening the total length and has high resolution can be realized.

In this imaging lens L, it is preferable for an aspherical surface to be applied for at least one surface of each lens of the first lens L1 through the fifth lens L5 in order to achieve improved imaging performance.

Further, it is preferable for each of the lens L1 through the lens L5 that constitute the imaging lens L to be not a cemented lens but a single lens. This is because the number of aspherical surface lenses is greater than a case in which any of the lenses L1 through L5 is a cemented lens, thereby a degree of freedom for design of each lens will increase to achieve the shortened total length favorably.

Next, the operation and effects regarding the conditional formulae of the imaging lens L configured as described above will be described in detail.

First, the focal length 13 of the third lens L3 and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy the following conditional formula (1): 1<f3/f1<4.2  (1).

Conditional formula (1) defines a preferable range of numerical values for the ratio of the focal length f3 of the third lens L3 with respect to the focal length f1 of the first lens L1. When the value of f3/f1 falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (1), the refractive power of the third lens L3 will become excessively strong with respect to the refractive power of the first lens L1. Thereby, it will become difficult to achieve the shortened total length. When the value of f3/f1 exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (1), the refractive power of the third lens L3 will become excessively weak with respect to the refractive power of the first lens L1. Thereby, it will become difficult to correct spherical aberration favorably. Therefore, satisfying the range defined by conditional formula (1) enables the shortened total length to be achieved and spherical aberration to be corrected favorably. It is preferable for conditional formula (1-1) to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: 1.8<f3/f1<4.0  (1-1).

Further, it is preferable for the focal length f of the entire system, a half angle of view ω, a paraxial radius of curvature R5 r of the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5 to satisfy conditional formula (2) below: 0.8<f·tan ω/R5r<10  (2).

Conditional formula (2) defines a preferable range of numerical values for the ratio of the paraxial image height (f·tan ω) with respect to the paraxial radius of curvature R5 r of the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5. When the value of f·tan ω/R5 r falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (2), the absolute value of the paraxial radius of curvature R5 r of the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5, i.e., the most-image-side surface of the imaging lens will become excessively large with respect to the paraxial image height (f·tan ω). Thereby, it will become difficult to correct field curvature sufficiently while achieving the shortened total length. Further, when the value of f·tan ω/R5 r exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (2), the absolute value of the paraxial radius of curvature R5 r of the image-side surface of the fifth lens L5, i.e., the most-image-side surface of the imaging lens will become excessively small with respect to the paraxial image height (f·tan ω). Thereby, it will become difficult to suppress increase in the incident angles of light rays that pass through the optical system and enter the image formation plane (image sensor) at the intermediate angle of view. For this reason, satisfying the range defined by conditional formula (2) enables the increase in the incident angles of light rays that pass through the optical system and enter the image formation plane (image sensor) at the intermediate angle of view to be favorably suppressed and field curvature to be corrected favorably. It is preferable for conditional formula (2-1) to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: 1.5<f·tan ω/R5r<4.5  (2-1).

It is preferable for the paraxial radius of curvature R3 f of the object-side surface of the third lens L3 and the paraxial radius of curvature R3 r of the image-side surface of the third lens L3 to satisfy conditional formula (3) below: −1<(R3f−R3r)/(R3f+R3r)<−0.3  (3).

Conditional formula (3) respectively defines preferable ranges of numerical values for the paraxial radius of curvature R3 f of the object-side surface of the third lens L3 and the paraxial radius of curvature R3 r of the image-side surface of the third lens L3. When the value of (R3 f−R3 r)/(R3 f+R3 r) falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (3), such a configuration is disadvantageous from the viewpoint of shortening the total length. When the value of (R3 f−R3 r)/(R3 f+R3 r) exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (3), it will become difficult to correct spherical aberration. Therefore, satisfying conditional formula (3) enables the shortened total length to be achieved suitably and spherical aberration to be corrected favorably. It is more preferable for conditional formula (3-1) below to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: −1<(R3f−R3r)/(R3f+R3r)<−0.4  (3-1).

Further, it is preferable for the paraxial radius of curvature R3 f of the object-side surface of the third lens L3 and the paraxial radius of curvature R2 r of the image-side surface of the second lens L2 to satisfy conditional formula (4) below: −1<(R2r−R3f)/(R2r+R3f)<0.5  (4).

Conditional formula (4) respectively defines preferable ranges of numerical values for the paraxial radius of curvature R3 f of the object-side surface of the third lens L3 and the paraxial radius of curvature R2 r of the image-side surface of the second lens L2. In both of the case that the value of (R2 r−R3 f)/(R2 r+R3 f) exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (4) and the case that the value of (R2 r−R3 f)/(R2 r+R3 f) falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (4), the occurrence of comatic aberration will be likely to be induced due to increase in the absolute value of offense against the sine condition. Thereby, it will become difficult to correct comatic aberration sufficiently. Therefore, satisfying conditional formula (4) enables the increase in the absolute value of offense against the sine condition to be suppressed so as to set offense against the sine condition appropriately particularly at a small angle of view. Thereby, comatic aberration can be favorably corrected particularly at a small angle of view. It is more preferable for conditional formula (4-1) below to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: −0.5<(R2r−R3f)/(R2r+R3f)<0.3  (4-1).

It is preferable for the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 and the focal length f of the entire system to satisfy conditional formula (5) below: 0.8<f/f1<1.5  (5).

Conditional formula (5) defines a preferable range of numerical values for the ratio of the focal length f of the entire system with respect to the focal length f1 of the first lens L1. When the value of f/f1 falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (5), a positive refractive power of the first lens L1 will become excessively weak with respect to the refractive power of the entire system. Thereby, it will become difficult to realize the shortened total length. When the value of f/f1 exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (5), the positive refractive power of the first lens L1 will become excessively strong with respect to the refractive power of the entire system. Thereby, it will become difficult to correct particularly spherical aberration. Therefore, satisfying the range defined by conditional formula (5) enables the shortened total length to be achieved and spherical aberration to be corrected favorably. It is more preferable for conditional formula (5-1) to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: 0.9<f/f1<1.3  (5-1).

Further, it is preferable for the focal length f3 of the third lens L3 and the focal length f of the entire system to satisfy conditional formula (6) below: 0.2<f/f3<0.6  (6).

Conditional formula (6) defines a preferable range of numerical values for the ratio of the focal length f of the entire system with respect to the focal length f3 of the third lens L3. When the value of f/f3 falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (6), the refractive power of the third lens L3 will become excessively weak with respect to the refractive power of the entire system. Thereby, it will become difficult to shorten the total length. When the value of f/f3 exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (6), the refractive power of the third lens L3 will become excessively strong with respect to the refractive power of the entire system. Thereby, it will become difficult to correct spherical aberration. Therefore, satisfying the range defined by conditional formula (6) enables the shortened total length and spherical aberration to be corrected favorably. It is more preferable for conditional formula (6-1) to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: 0.25<f/f3<0.5  (6-1).

It is preferable for the focal length f2 of the second lens L2 and the focal length f of the entire system to satisfy conditional formula (7) below: −1<f/f2<−0.2  (7).

Conditional formula (7) defines a preferable range of numerical values for the ratio of the focal length f of the entire system with respect to the focal length f2 of the second lens L2. When the value of f/f2 falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (7), the refractive power of the second lens L2 will become excessively strong with respect to the positive refractive power of the entire system. Thereby, it will become difficult to shorten the total length. When the value of f/f2 exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (7), the refractive power of the second lens L2 will become excessively weak with respect to the refractive power of the entire system. Thereby, it will become difficult to correct longitudinal chromatic aberration. Therefore, satisfying the range defined by conditional formula (7) enables the shortened total length to be achieved and longitudinal chromatic aberration to be corrected favorably. It is more preferable for conditional formula (7-1) to be satisfied in order to cause this advantageous effect to become more prominent: −0.7<f/f2<−0.3  (7-1).

Further, it is preferable for the distance D7 between the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 along the optical axis and the focal length f of the entire system to satisfy conditional formula (8) below: 0.12<D7/f<0.2  (8).

Conditional formula (8) defines a preferable range of numerical values for the ratio of the distance D7 between the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 along the optical axis with respect to the focal length f of the entire system. As described above, the imaging lens according to each of the present embodiments is configured to be a telephoto type as a whole when the first lens L1 through the third lens L3 are considered one optical system (a first lens group) having a positive refractive power and the fourth lens, L4 and the fifth lens L5 are considered one optical system (a second lens group) having a negative refractive power. When the value of D7/f exceeds the upper limit defined by conditional formula (8), it will be likely to become necessary to increase the negative refractive power of the second lens group with respect to the positive refractive power of the first lens group. Thereby, it will become difficult to correct astigmatism favorably. In addition, when the value of D7/f falls below the lower limit defined by conditional formula (8), the distance between the first lens group and the second lens group along the optical axis will become excessively small. This will diminish the advantageous effect from the viewpoint of shortening the total length obtained by configuring the imaging lens L to be a telephoto type as described above. Therefore, satisfying the range defined by conditional formula (8) enables the shortened total length to be achieved and astigmatism to be corrected favorably.

Next, referring to FIG. 2 through FIG. 9, the imaging lenses according to the second embodiment through the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail. The imaging lenses according to the first embodiment through the ninth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 through FIG. 9 are configured in such a manner that all of the surfaces of the first lens L1 through the fifth lens L5 are of aspherical surface shapes. In addition, each of the imaging lenses according to the second embodiment through the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure consists of a first lens L1 having a positive refractive power with a convex surface toward the object side, a second lens L2 having a negative refractive power, a third lens L3 having a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the object side, a fourth lens L4 having a negative refractive power and a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side, and a fifth lens L5 having a negative refractive power with a concave surface toward the image side, the image-side surface thereof having at least one inflection point, disposed in this order from the object side in the same manner as the first embodiment. For this reason, only the other detailed configuration of each lens that constitutes each lens group of the first embodiment through the ninth embodiment below will be described. In addition, the operational effects of configurations which are common among the first embodiment through the ninth embodiment are the same. Therefore, the configurations and the operational effects thereof will be described for lower numbered embodiment, and the common configurations and the operational effects thereof will be omitted for the other embodiments.

The imaging lenses L according to the second embodiment through the seventh embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 through FIG. 7 have the lens configurations which are common among the first lens L1 through the fifth lens L5 of the first embodiment. The respective configurations of these lenses can exhibit the same operational effects as the corresponding lenses of the first embodiment.

In addition, the first lens L1 may be of a biconvex shape in the vicinity of the optical axis, as in the eighth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8. In order to realize a first lens having a positive refractive power of approximately the same strength in the vicinity of the optical axis, the absolute value of the paraxial radius of curvature of the first lens L1 can be relatively increased in the case that the first lens L1 is of a biconvex shape in the vicinity of the optical axis compared to a case in which the first lens L1 is of a meniscus shape in the vicinity of the optical axis. For this reason, spherical aberration can be more favorably corrected in the case that the first lens L1 is of a biconvex shape in the vicinity of the optical axis. Further, the second lens L2 can be of a biconcave shape in the vicinity of the optical axis as in the eighth embodiment. In order to realize a second lens having a negative refractive power of approximately the same strength in the vicinity of the optical axis, the absolute value of the paraxial radius of curvature of the second lens L2 can be relatively increased in the case that the second lens L2 is of a biconcave shape in the vicinity of the optical axis compared to a case in which the second lens L2 is of a meniscus shape in the vicinity of the optical axis. For this reason, spherical aberration can be more favorably corrected in the case that the second lens L2 is of a biconcave shape in the vicinity of the optical axis. In addition, the lens configurations of the third lens L3 through the fifth lens L5 of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. The respective configurations of these lenses can exhibit the same operational effect as that of the corresponding lenses of the first embodiment.

Further, as in the ninth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9, the second lens L2 may be configured in the same manner as that of the eighth embodiment, and the first lens L1 and the third lens L3 through the fifth lens L5 may have the lens configurations similar to those of the first embodiment. These lens configurations can exhibit the same operational effects as those of the corresponding configurations of the first and eighth embodiments.

As described above, in the imaging lenses of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration of each lens element is optimized within a lens configuration having five lenses as a whole. Therefore, a lens system that can achieve the shortened total length while having high imaging performance can be realized.

Further, improved imaging performance can be realized by appropriately satisfying preferred conditions. In addition, the imaging apparatuses according to the embodiments of the present disclosure output image signals corresponding to optical images formed by the high performance imaging lenses according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Therefore, photographed images having high resolution from a central angle of view to peripheral angles of view can be obtained.

Next, specific examples of numerical values of the imaging lens according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. A plurality of examples of numerical values will be summarized and explained below.

Table 1 and Table 2 below show specific lens data corresponding to the configuration of the imaging lens illustrated in FIG. 1. Specifically, Table 1 shows basic lens data of the imaging lens, and Table 2 shows data related to aspherical surfaces. In the lens data of Table 1, ith numbers of the surfaces of lens elements that sequentially increase from the object side to the image side, with the lens element at the most object side designated as first (the aperture stop St is first), are shown in the column Si for the imaging lens of Example 1. The radii of curvature (mm) of ith surfaces from the object side corresponding to the symbols Ri illustrated in FIG. 1 are shown in the column Ri. Similarly, the distances (mm) between an ith surface Si and an i+1st surface Si+1 from the object side along the optical axis are shown in the column Di. The refractive indices of jth optical elements from the object side with respect to the d line (wavelength: 587.56 nm) are shown in the column Ndj. The Abbe's numbers of the jth optical elements with respect to the d line are shown in the column vdj. In addition, each lens data shows the focal length f (mm) of the entire system and the back focus Bf (mm) as various data. Note that the back focus Bf is represented as an air converted value.

In the imaging lens of Example 1, both of the surfaces of all of the first lens L1 through the fifth lens L5 are aspherical in shape. In the basic lens data of Table 1, numerical values of radii of curvature in the vicinity of the optical axis (paraxial radii of curvature) are shown as the radii of curvature of these aspherical surfaces.

Table 2 shows aspherical surface data of the imaging lens of Example 1. In the numerical values shown as the aspherical surface data, the symbol “E” indicates that the numerical value following thereafter is a “power index” having 10 as a base, and that the numerical value represented by the index function having 10 as a base is to be multiplied by the numerical value in front of “E”. For example, “1.0E-02” indicates that the numerical value is “1.0·10⁻²”.

The values of coefficients Ai and KA represented by the aspherical surface shape formula (A) below are shown as the aspherical surface data. In greater detail, Z is the length (mm) of a normal line that extends from a point on the aspherical surface having a height h to a tangential plane (a plane perpendicular to the optical axis) that contacts the apex of the aspherical surface. Z=C·h ²/{1+(1−KA·C ² ·h ²)^(1/2) }+ΣAi·h ^(i)  (A)

wherein: Z is the depth of the aspherical surface (mm), h is the distance from the optical axis to the surface of the lens (height) (mm), C is the paraxial curvature=1/R (R is the paraxial radius of curvature), Ai is an ith ordinal aspherical surface coefficient (i is an integer 3 or greater), and KA is an aspherical surface coefficient.

Table 3 through Table 18 show specific lens data corresponding to the configurations of the imaging lenses illustrated in FIG. 2 through FIG. 9 as Example 2 through Example 9, in the same manner as the imaging lens of Example 1 above. In each of the imaging lenses according to Examples 1 through 9, both surfaces of the first lens L1 through the fifth lens L5 are of aspherical surface shapes.

A through E of FIG. 11 are diagrams that illustrate aberrations of the imaging lens of Example 1, wherein the diagrams respectively illustrate spherical aberration, offense against the sine condition, astigmatism, distortion, and lateral chromatic aberration (chromatic aberration of magnification) of the imaging lens of Example 1. Each of the diagrams that illustrate spherical aberration, offense against the sine condition, astigmatism (field curvature), and distortion illustrates aberrations using the d line (wavelength: 587.56 nm) as a reference wavelength. The diagrams that illustrate spherical aberration and lateral chromatic aberration also show aberrations related to the F line (wavelength: 486.1 nm) and the C line (wavelength: 656.27 nm). In addition, the diagram that illustrates spherical aberration also shows aberration related to the g line (wavelength: 435.83 nm). In the diagram that illustrates astigmatism, aberration in the sagittal direction S is indicated by a solid line, while aberration in the tangential direction T is indicated by a broken line. In addition, “Fno.” denotes an F number, and “ω” denotes a half angle of view.

Similarly, various aberrations of the imaging lenses of Example 2 through Example 9 are illustrated in A through E of FIG. 12 through A through E of FIG. 19.

Further, Table 19 shows values corresponding to conditional formulae (1) through (8) according to the present disclosure, which are respectively summarized for each of Examples 1 through 9.

As can be understood from each set of numerical value data and from the diagrams that illustrate aberrations, each of the Examples realizes the shortening of the total length while achieving high imaging performance.

Note that the imaging lens of the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments and each of the Examples, and various modifications are possible. For example, the values of the radii of curvature, the distances among surfaces, the refractive indices, the Abbe's numbers, the aspherical surface coefficients of the respective lens components, etc., are not limited to the numerical values indicated in connection with the Examples of numerical values, and may be other values.

In addition, the Examples are described under the presumption that the imaging lenses are to be utilized with fixed focus. However, it is also possible for configurations capable of adjusting focus to be adopted. It is also possible to adopt a configuration, in which the entirety of the lens system is fed out or a portion of the lenses is moved along the optical axis to enable automatic focus, for example. In each lens having a meniscus shape in the vicinity of the optical axis within the imaging lens of the present disclosure, the surface having the paraxial radius of curvature with the greater absolute value within the meniscus shape may be configured to be planar in the vicinity of the optical axis. In other words, a lens of a meniscus shape in the vicinity of the optical axis may be of a plano-convex shape or of a plano-concave shape in which the surface having the radius of curvature with the greater absolute value within the meniscus shape of the lens is planar in the vicinity of the optical axis.
